My son came up to spend some time with me so we spend the afternoon working on "The Beast" as my wife calls it.
Got my Locking door handles installed today...3 of the 4 original Phillips screws were totally stripped out so I ended up having to drill out the heads to get the original handles off and then used vice-grips to grab the stubs of the screws and was able twist them out after hitting them with PB-blaster and letting them soak for a bit.
Got the license plate holder mounted and the plate on it so hopefully I don't pulled over again because they didn't see the plate in the front windshield. (The cops in my area tend to pull you over for anything and everything they can) and then kept me busy chatting about the truck for 30 mins but no ticket as everything was in order.
Also mounted a 1/2 ton
Haul-master bed-mounted crane to make it easy to get 55gal drums and such into and out of the bed that I had picked up a while ago for use in my pickup but never ended up mounting it until now.
Hopefully tomorrow after POW/MIA board meeting and General membership meetings the weather will still be holding out for us and my son and I can work on getting the GL markings/paint off the truck and also see if I can figure out why the dash lights don't seem to work when they did before and so did the windshield fluid sprayer (fuse?) as I know they worked last week when the safety inspector checked the truck..
